Jónsi - Tornado

Jónsi - Tornado
This song is ridiculously beautiful. It's one of those songs that is so beautiful it actually nearly hurts to listen to. But a good hurt. The kind of hurt you want to feel over and over and over again. And it's so beautiful that that's about as far as I can go in using mere words to describe it. Seriously, you're better off just listening to it and hearing the magic yourself. So go. Click that play button and be prepared for some of the purest, prettiest music you've ever heard.
Also, speaking of beautiful, I'm not very well-versed in the world of Sigur Rós (though I plan to try to fix that in the future since I'm enjoying Jónsi's solo album so much) but there is one song that I adore and was rather obsessed with for awhile several months ago, "Fljótavík". It tugs at my heart strings nearly as much as "Tornado" and is basically another four minutes of pure ear bliss. So I'm offering that one too since I probably should have posted it ages ago.
